Atlanta, Georgia Contempt and Enforcement Attorneys
Rubin Family Law provides skilled representation in contempt and enforcement cases throughout Atlanta, Georgia. Whether you need help enforcing a court order or defending against contempt allegations, their team offers strategic, resolution-focused legal counsel. From missed support payments to custody violations, Rubin Family Law ensures your rights are protected and court orders are upheld with clarity, diligence, and legal precision.
Court orders are not optional. Whether they involve child support, alimony, custody, or visitation, they are legally binding obligations that both parties must follow. Unfortunately, some people choose not to comply, leaving the other party without the support or access that the court intended. When this happens, Rubin Family Law is here to ensure that court orders are respected—and enforced.
We represent both parties: those seeking enforcement and those facing contempt charges. No matter which side of the courtroom you are on, our experienced Atlanta-based family law attorneys offer strategic, compassionate counsel to protect your rights and advocate for a fair outcome.
Why Do I Need a Contempt and Enforcement Attorney?
Court orders are enforceable through legal action, but doing so without experienced legal counsel can result in delays, missed steps, or avoidable mistakes. If the other party is ignoring your court order—or if you have been accused of violating one—Rubin Family Law can help you understand your options and protect your interests.
You may need enforcement or defense services if:
- Your former spouse refuses to pay alimony.
- The other parent refuses to pay their child support obligations.
- The other parent is violating the custody schedule.
- You are being held in contempt of court and need to defend yourself.
